About Merryhills Primary School

Merryhills Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 308 applications for just 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.42. Of those 308 applicants, 93 put Merryhills as their first preference, and 85 of those first-preference families were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Enfield area, and it's backed up by the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2018, where it was rated Good overall and Good for leadership and management. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, having improved from a Requires Improvement rating in its previous graded inspection back in 2012. With 621 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, the school is operating very close to full, which is another sign of its standing in the community.
